I know this sounds crazy, but I figured that since I have been absent from this blog for quite some time, I should begin writing about the next phase of my life.
I have decided to begin my bar prep process now. Yes, normally people begin about 2 months prior to the bar exam, but I know that my situation is different. After much research and discussion with professors, advisors and mentors, I realize that the level of focus required to pass the bar exam will be immense. Given that, I need to make sure I do smaller bites sooner so that I can maintain some part of my life.
Right now, I am deciding classes to take in my final semester. Since I will begin bar prep early, I have to consider taking fewer classes so that I am not overwhelmed and can devote time to bar prep.
Also, there is the other bar-related items to consider: where will I take the exam, booking a hotel near the exam site, having “the talk” with close friends and family about my growing absence, and how will I finance this endeavor.
For now, 8 months ahead of the exam, I am going to set some of these things in order, and start doing something each week toward setting my life in order.
Stay tuned
